Chapter 991: Chapter 985: Year 810
Hearing this, Li Xinnian nodded toward his eldest brother.
Over the past few centuries, not only had he grown, but his eldest brother Su Chen had as well.
Having continuously experienced the world and re-cultivated a lifetime over hundreds of years, his eldest brother was no longer that arrogant and proud “Heavenly Venerable Xuan.”
“They will fight sooner or later; this is our opportunity.
At the same time, the Imperial Protectors Guard, the other Sage Elders of the Wu tribe, and the major factions of Deston Prefecture will not let this opportunity slip by either.”
Huan Gui glanced at the group.
“When the time comes, I hope your Li Clan has enough strength. Otherwise, if you can’t be the fisherman catching the fish, don’t blame me for abandoning you.”
The members of the Li Clan frowned.
The words were unpleasant to hear, but they were the truth.
Huan Gui was an evildoer who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and furthermore…
“Senior.” Golden light flickered in Su Chen’s eyes.
He only saw that behind the Huan Gui, eight avatars were gradually walking into her body.
Huan Gui’s main body was already at the extreme limit of the Void Refinement realm, and all eight avatars were stitched corpses, possessing the great Spiritual power of the Void Refinement realm, currently fusing with each other.
He raised an eyebrow. “You are Glimpsing the Dao?”
“Yes, I am only short of one opportunity.”
Over the years, Huan Gui’s injuries had recovered by eighty percent under Li Yaoqing’s elixirs.
Back during the battle at the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems, she had been just a hair’s breadth away from the Body Integration Dao realm.
“Then, when your opportunity arrives, I only hope our Azure Cloud Li Clan won’t hold you back.”
The corners of Su Chen’s mouth lifted slightly, fully revealing his demeanor from sixty thousand years ago.
The members of the Li Clan exchanged glances.
Feeling the aura swirling the dust around Su Chen, they couldn’t help but smile helplessly.
They sensed the aura on Su Chen’s body: Mid-stage Void Refinement!
A mid-stage Void Refinement expert over four hundred years old!
What kind of aptitude did Li Xinnian have? Furthermore, possessing an ancient bloodline and a continuous outpouring of clan resources, he was still struggling in the Divinity Transformation realm.
Su Chen, re-cultivating his past life, supported by the clan’s “Ling Tian’s Blood” and “Spiritual Fruits,” and coupled with continuous experiential learning over the years, could be said to have experienced a meteoric rise.
When others broke through to the Divinity Transformation or Void Refinement realms, they all needed to endure tribulations and seek fortuitous encounters.
Su Chen was different; he had no bottlenecks whatsoever.
He knew exactly what was needed to break through realms, and everything fell into place naturally.
…
[Year 810]
Li Wei awoke from secluded cultivation.
His cultivation base had improved, but the path of space laws was like crossing a river in the dark, feeling for stones beneath the current; he could only slowly comprehend it.
Being able to play “cat and mouse” with Body Integration experts was nothing more than relying on the special nature of space and time laws.
However, Li Wei also knew that if he ran into something like the “Human Emperor’s Eye,” he could only wait to consume Clan Will to resurrect.
He glanced at the experiences of his children in various places; they all had their own goals and lives.
The clan’s descendants were growing increasingly numerous.
Ever since the children in the various Grotto-Heavens of the clan branched off to form their own families due to maternal families, business, and other reasons, the continuation of the bloodline was unprecedented.
At the same time, the deaths of descendants also became more frequent, especially over by the Endless Forest.
[Your descendant Li Qiuhong, while hunting a Demon King with clan members in the Endless Forest, had his soul breached by the Demon King’s Spiritual arts and died in battle.]
[Li Chuxiu was schemed against by despicable people and died in battle. Li Jianshu personally led a team to avenge Li Chuxiu.]
[Li Jianfang of the Silver Moon lineage, overly eager for quick success, failed to break through to the Golden Core realm and died from the backlash.]
[…]
Without realizing it, the clan had grown to thousands of people.
Let alone managing them, just remembering their names and respective origins was difficult.
Everyone’s life has its own encounters.
The clan’s foundation was profound; even the major Grotto-Heavens had a richer foundation than when the clan was first fighting for its place.
Ultimately, how things turned out depended entirely on the individual.
Even the ancestors of the clan today were like this.
And shortly after the Clan’s Grand Ceremony this year, Li Wei felt a surge of joy.
Above the Azure Cloud Prefecture, clouds and thunder rolled.
In the lands covered by the lightning tribulation, as if blessed by Spiritual power, plants grew, and flowers bloomed.
The fragrance of flowers and grass gradually spread in all directions across the entire Azure Cloud Prefecture.
Above the cloudy sky stood a lush, towering giant tree.
Wearing a Daoist robe and holding a green bamboo pole and the Golden Chapter of Enlightenment, Li Yaoqing sat on a thick branch of the giant tree, allowing the lightning tribulation to bombard her body.
The giant tree was scorched black, but her body didn’t have the slightest injury.
Li Yaoqing grinned.
“Hehe, true Void Refinement, the Divine Art has reached the next level. With ancient Grade 4 elixirs and medical skills, my Li Clan shall ascend to greater heights…”
Before her voice had faded.
Li Yaoqing’s delicate nose wrinkled.
Far outside the range of the lightning tribulation, next to a large ancient cauldron, a two-meter-tall bald, muscular man danced about wildly.
“Hahaha, Second Sister, you’ve broken through! From today onwards, the Golden Chapter of Enlightenment is mine!”
“…”
Li Yaotie’s smile gradually disappeared.
“Third Brother, oh Third Brother, why must you force me to beat you up on such a happy day?”
Li Yaotie’s expression turned ugly.
He had the Unorthodox Artifact Body; when his Second Sister beat him, it didn’t hurt anymore, which was why he had been acting presumptuously for hundreds of years, daring to talk back to her.
But now, feeling his Second Sister’s steadily climbing aura, Li Yaotie trembled, grabbing his rejoicing wife beside him. “Rourou, let’s go! We’re leaving home to hide!”
